The Williams is pretty standard, not so much with the Zanuck or Spielberg. They are not what I would call common or normal samples of their signatures. Spielberg has of course, been known to sign in large crowds and sometimes you walk away with a scary version of his signature.....I think this is the case here.

Seeing dozens of Zanuck graphs with no breaks between the letters like the r & d as well as his usual minimalist R,  with this R being even less R like, the whole graph seems funky.....but who would forge a Richard Zanuck?

There is no explaining the differences, they just aren't standard.....but likely real.

Thanks Pete,

I'm in agreement.. Though the Williams looks a bit slow... When you ask who would forge Zanuck? Well why not? To make it more authentic? Just checking for a friend.. thanks for the input!

Not sure, tbh, but Pete knows much more about this than I do. I found a website that sells a lot of Jaws related merchandise, amongst other things and even then, I'm not 100% certain, but that's just my opinion.
